About a week ago my CPU started running abnormally high temps (50-60 degrees C while web browsing or idle, 80- 100 degrees C while gaming) so I figured I needed some new thermal paste on my CPU. After i finished applying the new stuff yesterday. Everything seemed to be working normally, I tried playing a game and was getting around a stable 60 degrees on my CPU, which I'm fairly certain is normal. Then, out of nowhere, my case fans started operating at a much higher speed than normal and I couldn't get them to slow down again without restarting my computer. Also I'm not sure if this is related but my sound is getting distorted and skipping but only when I'm running HWmonitor, after i close HWmonitor my sound goes back to normal. I am running a i5 3570k with the stock cooler. Any help would be appreciated.
